Chapter 83: Lin Qingwen collects enough money, Xiao Chen Zhuang explores the farm
Lin Qingwen took the four banknotes and made silent calculations in her mind.
There are a total of 1,800 taels, and now there are 1,400 taels, only 400 taels are left.
This is an amount that can be reached with just a few clicks, so it should be possible to collect it.
"You go back first, and I'll go there after I collect enough money." She said.
Jiahui saw Jia Yun out of the garden. When she came back, she saw Qingwen still thinking outside the yard. She came over and asked, "Is the girl worried about money? I have saved more than a dozen taels. Can I use them all for the girl?"
"Little girl, you have been saving for many years to save more than a dozen taels. If I use it as a gift, who will I become?" Qingwen scolded with a smile.
"It's useless to just leave the money there. Most of the money is given to girls. The girls use it first, and then you can reward me when you have it." Jiahui said, blinking her big bright eyes.
"Girl, I have been saving my monthly money for these years. I have twenty or thirty taels of it, and it would be useless if I left it alone. Girl, use it first, and then reward me with another three or two taels of money after I earn some money.
I still made money.”
Xiaohong came out of the yard at some point and whispered.
These words made Qingwen suddenly enlightened, and she had an idea in her mind.
In the evening, after the sisters left one after another, Qingwen summoned Aunt Zheng, Xiaohong, and Jiahui into her room.
"Now that I've thought about it, the money in your hands is indeed wasted, and it won't produce babies. If you can trust me, just give me the money.
If I don’t pay you back, I will convert the land to you. An acre of fertile land is only worth six taels of silver. I will plant the land for you, but all the money from the harvest will be yours. Do you think it’s feasible?”
"Six taels of silver per acre of fertile land? Isn't this a big loss, girl?" Aunt Zheng said with a smile, "I know the market. Nowadays, an acre of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing costs at least eight taels of silver."
Qingwen also smiled and said: "Don't I need money urgently? The fertile land is sold at a cheap price. If you have an advantage, don't take advantage of it."
Jiahui and Xiaohong also laughed after saying this.
Jiahui smiled and asked: "Then if I give the girl twelve taels of silver, I can get two acres of land. From now on, I will be a small landowner?"
"Little money lover, the money I have saved for so long finally has room to make money," Xiaohong knocked her and said with a smile, "I have more than twenty taels, so I need four acres of land."
Aunt Zheng thought about it and said with a smile:
"Over the years our family has been together, we have saved a hundred and ten taels of silver, all of which are used by the girl. I don't want the land, I just want to ask for a favor from the girl, and ask the girl to give the golden necklace to the next generation of our family."
"Okay, I was just waiting for grandma to talk to me about this," Qingwen clapped her hands and said, "You didn't mention it for a long time, and I thought you were unwilling. Now that you mention it, I feel relieved.
Jin Chuan'er is a good girl, and brother Yunsheng is also a good one. It's great to have two good friends together. I guarantee this matchmaker.
When they get married, I will return the deed to them as a gift. From now on, they will no longer be slaves, and their children will no longer be slaves."
"Girl, your great kindness and virtue are unworthy of being repaid by your slaves." Aunt Zheng knelt down and kowtowed to Qingwen.
"Mommy, what are you doing?"
Qingwen quickly pulled her up. She couldn't stand such an old man kowtowing to her, "No matter how much money you have, I will give you the land according to the price.
When they get married in the future, if they want to continue to stay in Zizhuxuan, they can stay there. If you want to cultivate the few acres of land yourself, that's fine, follow them."
"Girl, you are really kind-hearted. Wait for me to get the money."
Aunt Zheng wiped her tears and went back to the house to get some silver.
Xiaohong and Jiahui also went back to their houses and took out their own money.
"Mother Zheng has ninety-six taels, Jiahui has twelve taels, and I have twenty-four taels. The total is one hundred and thirty-two taels."
Xiao Hong counted the numbers and whispered, "Girl, if it's really not enough, let Mr. Yun add more. He...should also buy some land."
"You can plan for him. It's time for him to buy some property." Qingwen glanced at her with a smile.
She took a pen and paper and wrote three land deeds according to the land deeds in her hand.
One is for two acres; one is for four acres; and one is for sixteen acres.
After signing her name and pressing her fingerprints with cinnabar, Qingwen handed them to Jiahui, Xiaohong and Nanny Zheng respectively, and said with a smile:
"This land deed cannot pass the government, it is just an agreement between us. The harvest in the land may be more or less every year, and the money distributed to you every year is not fixed. Can you trust me?"
"Of course I can trust the girl."
Jiahui smiled so hard that her eyebrows curled up, "In the past, I only had Sister Xiaohong whom I could trust, but now I also have girls and Aunt Zheng that I can trust."
Xiaohong and Aunt Zheng just smiled, with only trust in their eyes.
"Okay! Then let's all make money together! I will work hard to make our lives better in the future." Qingwen waved.
She really wanted those people who were good to her to live a good life, so she used their money to invest for them.
With a few acres of land guaranteed, their future lives will be somewhat guaranteed.
The next day, before the sisters arrived, the master and servants packed up Qingwen's old clothes, packed a few packages and handed them to Aunt Zheng.
"Mommy, go out through the back door and go as far away as possible. Quietly, but don't let anyone know that you are from the Jia family. We can't lose the old lady's face."
Qingwen said with a smile, "The old lady won't let me make these bossy ideas, but I don't care about it. It's important to collect the money."
Aunt Zheng went out with her parcel on her back, and so did Xiaohong.
Half a day later, Xiaohong came back with ninety taels of silver and exchanged a land deed for fifteen acres of land from Qingwen.
Aunt Zheng also sold some things, for a total of two hundred and ten taels of silver.
"Okay, that's enough." Qingwen said happily.
She took a chance, took four hundred taels of silver, exchanged it for silver notes, and went to Zizhuxuan with eighteen silver notes.
"Girl, Mr. Chen hasn't been here for several days. He said he went to Beidi."
Jia Yun said, "Only one of his followers came over and left a message saying that the village now belongs to the girl, and the original farmers on the village have been left to you. The girl has time to go and see, and you can plant whatever you want."
What."
He actually avoided seeing him? Lin Qingwen cursed.
But I have money in my hand and I don’t feel panic. This Zhuangzi belongs to me no matter what, so why not just go and take a look?
So, Lin Qingwen got on the carriage again and went to Xiaochenzhuang with Baoyu, Xiaohong, Jia Yun, Uncle Yu, Uncle Chen and others.
The journey is not far, only about three miles.
Perhaps this is what Mr. Chen has considered. It is convenient to move things back and forth from Zizhuxuan to Xiaochenzhuang.
The farm is located behind the village, with 200 acres of land, surrounded by fences on three sides, and adjacent to a forest on the other side.
Qingwen stood outside the fence, her heart racing.
In her previous life, she lived with her parents in a 100-square-meter building. She thought it was okay, not too big, but not too small either.
She never expected that, through a book, she would become a small landowner with 200 acres of land.
"Is this Miss Qing?" a loud voice sounded.
